The MUDs I worked on and played had two weapon enhancement skills that
would be interesting to see implemented. One was Inset. This was a
cross bewteen jewelcraft and black smithing as it allowed you to inset
a stone in to a weapon to imbue the weapon with the magical properties
of the stone. The other was simply Enchant Weapon, which was a level
dependent damage enhancer. As I recall the goal was to win a quest so
an immortal would enchant your (non-magical only) weapon and then you
could inset the Purple Shard from the Purple Snorklewacker. Now that
was fun!

By the way Lottie, is there any chance you do configuration management
for a large tech company in the Southwest?
